About the Venue
Tao Nightclub in December 2026
Tao Nightclub at The Venetian Resort is one of Las Vegas's most enduring nightlife institutions — open since 2005 and still booking headline talent two decades later. The venue is part of a sprawling 40,000-square-foot, three-floor Tao Group complex inside The Venetian that includes the award-winning Tao Restaurant, the Tao Lounge, and the main nightclub space itself, which spans 10,000 square feet of dedicated club floor with three full bars, private sky boxes with bottle service, and a 40-foot outdoor terrace. The Asian-inspired design — carved Buddha statues, bronze accents, red silk panels, and custom lighting — is among the most photographed nightclub interiors in Vegas. In 2026, Tao's resident lineup spans electronic and open-format talent: Alesso, Above & Beyond, Zedd, Acraze, and Alan Walker headline the EDM and progressive house programming, while Tyga, Murda Beatz, and NGHTMRE drive the hip-hop and trap nights. Thursday is traditionally hip-hop and open format, while Friday and Saturday lean toward EDM and electronic. The attached Tao Beach Dayclub on the rooftop pool terrace makes it possible to start at Tao Beach in the afternoon and transition into the nightclub seamlessly. With two decades of continuous operation at The Venetian, Tao has outlasted multiple competing nightclubs and venue closures across the Strip, establishing itself as one of the most durably successful nightclub brands in Las Vegas history. The private sky boxes — suspended above the main floor and accessed only by bottle service reservations — offer a VIP orientation unavailable at most other venues: an elevated sightline across the full dance floor and DJ stage from above, with full audio immersion while maintaining physical separation from the general crowd. The 40-foot outdoor terrace adjacent to the main room is an often-overlooked feature that provides a quieter space for conversation without leaving the venue, and on cooler evenings becomes a popular gathering point between sets. The restaurant-club pipeline at Tao funnels dinner service guests into the nightclub after 10 PM with a crowd already warmed up socially, which noticeably elevates early-evening club energy versus cold arrivals from hotel rooms.

For women at Tao Nightclub in December, plan a winter-appropriate outfit that still meets the upscale nightclub standard. Long-sleeve dresses, statement coats, and fashionable boots are popular choices. Bring a coat check option or a compact jacket you can carry, as the walk between venues can be cold.

Getting to Tao Nightclub
Transportation, parking, and arrival tips
Tao Nightclub is located at 3377 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109, inside The Venetian. Getting to the venue efficiently is important because Las Vegas traffic and rideshare surge pricing can add unexpected time and cost to your night. Here are the best ways to reach Tao Nightclub and what to expect when you arrive.
Rideshare via Uber or Lyft is the most popular transportation option for visitors heading to Tao Nightclub. Rideshare dropoff at The Venetian main entrance on Las Vegas Blvd. Tao entrance is on the second floor of the Grand Canal Shoppes. During peak hours between 11:00 PM and 2:00 AM on Friday and Saturday nights, expect surge pricing that can double or triple the normal fare. To save money, consider leaving your hotel between 10:00 PM and 10:30 PM before surge kicks in. The NoCoverVegas guest list includes a free entry service from your hotel, which eliminates rideshare costs entirely and gives your group a VIP arrival experience.
If you prefer to drive, Self-parking at The Venetian/Palazzo garage ($15). Valet at Venetian main entrance ($30+). Keep in mind that Las Vegas nightclubs serve alcohol and the responsible choice is always to use a designated driver, rideshare service, or the free entry offered through the NoCoverVegas guest list. If you do park, give yourself an extra 10 to 15 minutes to walk from the garage through the casino to the venue entrance.
Taxis are available at every major hotel on the Strip but tend to be more expensive than rideshare for equivalent distances. The Las Vegas Monorail runs along the east side of the Strip and can be useful depending on your hotel location, though it stops running at 2:00 AM on weekends. Walking is feasible if your hotel is within one or two properties of The Venetian, but keep in mind that distances on the Strip are deceptive and what looks close on a map can be a 15 to 20 minute walk in dress shoes or heels.
